Visiting goalkeeper George Wickens' 19 saves, a record since the Premiership era began in 2013, went a long way to preventing Philippe Clement's side achieving the three-goal win that would have lifted them above the reigning champions. The knockout-round play-offs get under way tonight but group winners from the respective competitions have a bye straight through to the last 16.
Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, PSG boss Luis Enrique said: "If you told me at half-time we would win 2-0, I would be dancing for two hours. Having missed his side's previous match with an ankle problem, Mbappe scored at the back post after a corner.Real Sociedad keeper Remiro had earlier denied Mbappe a second when he tipped his attempt on to the crossbar.
"Bayern had a lot of ball possession but didn't really do anything with it. They didn't even test the goalkeeper."I don't think it's down to his individual performance. Bayern can play the ball around the backline but they aren't getting the ball to him."Bayern have 60% possession but don't really do anything with it and that's not a great way to play.
Kane scored 22 goals in his first 16 matches - but just six in his past 12 games. Hardly a terrible return, but enough of a drop-off to expose the glaring flaws in Bayern. "They haven’t had a shot on target. For 180 minutes, no shots on target, that is really an indictment for this Bayern team. I think that the best news, apart from the fact that it’s only 1-0, is that the second leg is in three weeks’ time, it will give them some time to recover their form. If this game was any time soon, this team doesn’t look like it’s got it in them at the moment to play anywhere near their strength.
The Italians are seventh in Serie A, closer in points to the relegation zone than the top of the league, but stuck to their gameplan and are firmly in the hunt for a first Champions League quarter-final in 24 years.
